Aeon

(Revision as of 23:36, 1 Oct 2004)

History is taken and broken down into a series of "Aeons", each with its own dominant concept of divinity and its own "formula" of redemption and advancement. The last three Aeons have been: The Aeon of Isis, The Aeon of Osiris, and The Aeon we are currently in, The Aeon of Horus or Conquering Child. During Neolithic times, the Aeon of Isis, the female aspect of the Godhead was revered due to a mostly matriarchal society and the fact that "Mother Earth" nourished, clothed and housed man. The Classical/Medieval Aeon of Osiris is considered to be dominated by the Paternal Principle, with a society based mainly on martial principals. We see in this Aeon many wars fought in the name of "God" as well as a rapidly advancing technological structure. This Aeons formula was that of self-sacrifice and submission to the Father God. The modern Aeon of Horus, with our times of self-realization as well as a growing interest in all things spiritual, is considered to be dominated by the Principle of the Child. Individuality and finding the "True Will" are the dominant aspects; its formula is that of growth, in consciousness and love, toward self-realization.
